...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...

The National Weather Service in San Francisco has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for a portion of western California, including
the following areas, Coastal North Bay Including Point Reyes
National Seashore, North Bay Interior Valleys, North Bay
Mountains, San Francisco Peninsula Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains and
Santa Lucia Mountains and Los Padres National Forest.

* From Tuesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon

* A moderate atmospheric river will impact the region Tuesday
through Thursday bringing prolonged periods of moderate to heavy
rain along with gusty south winds. The brunt of the storm is
forecast to occur between Tuesday evening through Wednesday.

* High confidence that thresholds for debris flows will be met for
the following 2020 burn scars: Meyers, Walbridge, Glass,
Hennessey, Woodward, CZU, Carmel/River, and Dolan.
For non-burn scar areas, there could be rapid ponding of water in
urban areas, and low lying areas with poor drainage. We also
cannot rule out slides or wash outs in areas of steep terrain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you live near or on a burn scar: make sure you are signed up for
your county's reverse 911 or other alert system and have a "go bag"
ready. Monitor the weather for forecast updates and heed local
official orders.
